Facebook to launch revamped news feed today

Facebook Inc. plans to unveil a redesign for the social-networking site’s news feed at an event today, TechCrunch reports.

The revamped news feed, the first screen users see after they log in, is expected to feature a feed of Facebook and Instagram photos along with a music feed that shows what friends are listening to, what concerts are coming up and what new albums are available for purchase. The new design may also include larger images and more image-based advertisements.

One thing Facebook may be holding back is its drastically overhauled mobile redesign, which employees of the social-media network have been using for a few months. A source told TechCrunch the project may not be ready for launch just yet.
